From the New Yorlc Reformer.
MOTHER.
A shfn’ning tliouglit of other years,
A feelinglinked with ours-,
\Vhen life wasall too bright for tears,
And hope sang, vvreathed with flowers,
A memory of affections fled,
Of voices heard no more:
Stirred in my spirit when I read
That name of fondness o'er.
Oh, mother! in that magic word,
\Vliat love and joy coinbinel
\Vhat hopes, too oft. alas, deferred !
Vi/hat watcliings, griets, are thine!
Yet never till the hour we roam,
By worldly tliralls opprest. _
Learn we to prize that holiest home,
A tender motlier’s breast.
Ten thousand prayers at midnight poured
Beside our couch of woes—-
She. wasting wcariness endured
To soften our repose ;
Vvhile never murmur marked thy tongue,
Nor toils relaxed thy care;
How, mother! is thy heart so strong
To pity and forbear ?
\Vhat filial fondness e’er repaid,
Or could repay the past?
Alas, for gratitude decayed,
Regrets that rarely last,
’Tis only when the dust. is thrown
Thy blessed bosom o'er
\Vo muse on all thy kindness shown,
And wish we’d loved thee moro.
’Tis only when the lips are cold
\Ve 1nouru—with late regret,
‘Mid myriad memories of old—
Tlio days forever set,
And not an act, or look, or thought,
Against thy meek control,
But with a sad remembrance fraught,
\-Vakcs anguish in my soul !
On every hand, in every clime,
True to her sacred cause-—
Fill’d by that influence sublime,
From which her strcrgth she draws—
Still is the mother's heart the same,
The mot.lie1"s lot. is tried.
And 0, may nations guard that name
X-Vitli filial power and pride.

descended from different nations.

proud, cold and repulsive. _ The dress of

flowing cotton gown. His head is sur-
mounted by a turban, beneath which he
wearsa silk cap. A third class are be-

They are looked down upon by the

None of
these except the missionaries expect to
spend their whole lives there. Some of
those in the higher ranks stay 40 or 50
years. Among the European residents
are some of excellent education and splen-
did talents. Tliey belong, in many cases
to high families in England. But by rea-
son of bankruplcy,0r family disagreement,
or disappointed love, or other such rea-
sons, they secretly enlisted in the army
and the first their friends learned of them
they were private soldiers in Hindustan
Not unfrequently such ones are glad to
receive from the home they so unkindly
left, 20 pounds, the sum necessary to pro-
cure a discharge from the army.. After
this they have remained engaged in vari-
ous pursuits. Some of the editors are
men of this stamp.
The .xIrmem'rms form a fifth class. These
are merchants and often quite wealthy.
Their number is small. A sixth class are
called Parsees. Tliey’are usually mer-
chants in a small way. There are besides
some flmbs, whose principal occupation is
dealing in horses; and lastly also Chinese
who are the shoe makers of the country.
There is not among the Hindoos, that
marked difference of appearance between
adults and children, and between the men
and women, there is with us. They are
-ighter in body, and inferior in strength to
Europeans. But they are very quick in
their motions and capable of considerable
endurance. They carry the mail, on foot,

carry a man and considerable baggage in
a palanqnin 40 miles between sunset and
sunrise (for they travel mostly at night)
and return in the same way the next niglit.
The full dress of the Ilindoo is all the
most modest and fastidious could desire,
(‘M r. Wzird exhibited drawings of the male
and female in their respective cos-tumes:.
also specimens of various parts of their
dress, some of which were very neatly
made.) Females go barefoot and usually
barelieaded. The men keep their heads
shave.-d except one locl-:. .
We next speak of their menml and moral_
c/’tri-roc.‘cr. In many respects they are:
equal to their western brethren. They
are often quite witty. It may be said of,
the pupils at school, that their mental fac-:
ulties are nearly or quite as good, and
their memory superior to our own _\'outh.,
But in moral qualities they are sadly Cl€'l
ficient. Lying and perjury is every where}
common. lndeed a I-Iiudoo will no! speak
the truth if falsehood will answer his pur-‘
pose better. '
‘In regard to their izzanners and cusloms, it
may be said that they are extrernely polite.
\Vhen they meet each other they make.
what they call a “ Sulam." Putting the
palms of their hands together, they raise
them till thethumbstouch their forehead;
this i.b.e_v repeat three times saying also,
Ram, Ram, Ram, meaning “may the bless-
ing of the god Ram (the god of social
peace and prosperity) attend you.” Be-
fore those they consider their superiors,
they take offiheir shoes and sometimes
even prostrate thenmelves. At other times
they touch the ground and their foreheads
with the liand. \Vi:cn they call on a su-
perior they str/y till he dismisses them.-—-
This is oftenqiiitc a convenient custom
for the missionary. When a native has
staid snfliciently long, the person on whom
he calls has only to say “ going a-way,
stay, and come again,” or words to that
ellcct and the visitor immediately takes
his leave. But he would not think it po-
iite to go away till thus permitted.
As to Food, rice is with them the staff
of life. They nialte a dish wliicli is called
curry, which is compounded of-meal, on-
ions, melted butti-r, popper, spices, -Sac. &c.
and some odd asfoctida. The lower class-
es use leaves for plates, and when seated
round the dish ofcurry roll up a ball of it
with their fingers, and very (lexteriousl_v
toss it into their months. The water must
be filtered before it is fit for use. This the_\
other, the two upper filled" with sand
through which the water passes into the
lower vessel. To cool it, they put it next
line an earthen bottle and hang it where a
warm wind can blow on it———tlic hotter the
wind the cooler the water; so that know-
ing on \vliich side of the house the wind
bloas hottest, a person may tell by the
temperature of the water on which side
the water was cooled. (Perhaps some of
yourjuvenile readers may be able to say
on what principle the water grows cool
under such circumstances)
They have some modes of conveyance
peculiar to themselves. The palanquiu
has already been referred to. It is usual-
ly about six feet long, three or foot wide,
and of sufficient height for a person to sit
erect. They carry in it one grroivn per-
son, and sometimes a "nurse and child with
such cooking utensils as the traveller rnay
need on the journey; for tlicre are no lio-
tels on the road. A leather strap is ex-
tended across l.liC palanquiu about mid\vay,
which serves for a back to loan against
while sitting. This strap may be uubut-
toncd and the person can stretch himself
as on a sofa, at full length. From each
end of the machine a long handle is exten-
tcd, by wlii li it is carried on the shoulders
of men. It requires about fourteen men
to carry one person; twelve bearers, (six
of whom carry at once, and are relived by
the otliersix every quarter ofa mile ;) the
overseer, and a man for general work. If
the bearers step together the motion is
pleasant to the one who is carried. But
sometimes they are out of humor and by
stepping separately jolt their passenger
most unmercifully. Perlmps he calls out
don’t do so, I am not a wild animal, or a
log of wood, to be tossed about. If this
appeal does not stop lliCt'}’l, the person
within commences tumbling from side to;
side, and, as this rolls the handles of the'
palanqnin very painfully on their shoul-
ders, it quickly brings them to their son-
ses. 'Tlio bearers are so far faithful that
they may be safely trusted in case ofdan-
gcr, as for instance whether it will be safefi
to cross a river. Cases sometimes occur,
in Ceylon, however, of this sort. Theyi
come unexpectedly upon the fresh tracks;
of a wild elephant. Setting down their"
burden they take to the trees lf_t'ne ele-;
phant approaches, he thrusts his trunk into '
the palanquin, tumbles the furniture about
and lays hold of whatever eutahles he can-
rrnd. Ofcourse this is no pleasant situa—i
tion far a traveller. The Tonjo/in is anoth-l
or vehicle much used by ladies in makingl
calls, doc. It resembles the body and topE
of a gig or chaise. This is borne like the!
palanquin on the shoulders of men.

Mr. W. next spoke of the females of In-
dia. A daughtcr’s birth, compared with
that ofa son,is an occasion ofgrief. They
consider beauty quite necessary for a wo-
man. Of their notion of beauty the fol-
owing comparison may give some hint.
A young lady, should walk, say they,
like a young elephant. For a wife four
tliiagrs are essentiol~ 1. Clean the house.
2. Cook the food. 3. Piezzse her husband.
twelve miles in two hours.‘ They will
4-. Take care of her children. Among the
I 5
"things a Wife is forbidden to do, is to men-
tion her husband’s name. She usually
says, He did so and so, and when two
women are railing at each other, one of
the severest things, one can utter about
the other, is to say ‘Ah, I remember when
you called your husband’s name.’ A most
important item in a wife’s duty is to obey
her liusband—oZ;c_i/, obey, obey, alvia_i,'sobey.
The Hindoo female must be entirely uned-
ucated. She ‘must not wa k in public with
her husband, unless they are on a journey.
Mr. Ward, while riding abroad once with
a friend, saw a female walking with a man
-—-but as soon as she perceived them, she
turned and valkcd off at right angles, so
that it rniglit appear that sh—- only met the
man l),_‘y"Cli:1ll(_'€‘. The gentleman accom-
panying Mr. VV. remarked that the couple
were married, but the woman knew she
was violating the laws of her country, and
would only rt-join her husband again, when
no one was near. A few females have
overcome national custom and prejudice,
and acquired a reputation for talents and
attainments. Yet the females are influen-
tial in spite of their degreclation. They
are also the most rcli,-zions portion of the
cominunity. But such are the customs
and feelings of the people that it is not so
wondcrfuliliat the widow allows herself
to be burned witli her liusb-.md’s corpse.
The tires of the suttee Sllll burn to some
extent, in spite of Ijritish prol‘iibition.——
The national religion must be changed if
you would put an end to the barbarous
customs. It is a pleasing fact that the
missionaries have in numerous individual
instances been able to raise the woman
from her degradation, by establishing fe-
male schools.
T'ne literature of India comprises many
books. The dialects are various. Mr.
\Vartl most accustomed to speak the Tamil.
A sentence in this language however long
it may be has only one verb. Partciples,
gerunds, &c. are used instead. ' The fol-
lowing is an example of the structure ofa
Tamil sentence. A man, going to the
city, entering a house, seeing his friend,
bidding farewell, going out, entering his
palanquin, thinking on his visit, returned.
They read poetry and prose uith a drawi-
ing sing song tone. (Mr. W. gave an
illiistration of this, which would utterly
confound the most musical reader of this
sort your schools afford.) Tl1oug'liHindoo
boys learn to read they do not understand
wliat they read. They are as a pegplc at
fault in Astronomy, Geography, the scion-
ccs and almost evexytliing else. Their
literature pretends to great antiquity; it
we believe them their oldest writings are
almost as old as eternity. The number of
their books is very large. The same may
be said of the subjects on which they treat.
Some of their poems are of monstrous
length. Virgil’s ./Encid contains lcsstlian
12,000 lines. ~lorner’s Iliad not half that
number. One of tlieir’s contains about
lO0,000, and they say that in one work
there was a vastly greater number.
Mr. \V. closed with a strong appeal to
the audience in regard to the benighted
people to whom he had called their
attention.
DISTEESSING SHIPVVRECK.
Capt \Vm. Smith of the schooner Caroline,
ofI3ath Me. arrived in Boston, a few days since,
and has furnished the editor of the Journal a full
account of the loss of his vessel and the subse-
quent stifieriiigs of himself and crew. The
schooner was thrown on her beam ends on the
evening ofliho .‘36th ult. in latitude 32-13. long
77‘. Capt. Sniit.h’s narration of what followed
is truly horrible : I
“On the 10th inst. having been fifteen
days without food, and eight days without
water, the sufferers were nearly exhausted,
and determined, as a last resort, to adopt
the dreadful alternative of drawing lots
“to see who should die to feed the remain-
der.” The lot was finally drawn, and fell
on an Irishman, who called his name Chas.
Brown. Brown, who was the stoutcst
man on board the vessel, was of a violent
disposition, and was, witlial, the only man
who ind a weapon. He immediately drew
his sheath knife, and swore that if any one
laid hands on him, he would kill two of
them. He was deaf to all appeals to his
reason as to the fairness of the lot, and
asserted that the youngest on board, a
V'\}"clch boy named Howey Rose, should
forfeit his life. ‘
Capt Smith immediately turned his back
to his companions, and requested them to
take his life, iftliey thought proper. lliis,
however they refused to do. He then
crawled into the cabin, lieartsick as well
as sick in body, and threw himself into the
birth. Whilst lying there reflecting upon
the injustice of which the Irishman was
guilty in dooming to death a person who
had escaped the lot, he saw the handle of
an adze partailly under water. He called the
Welch boy from the deck, being too weak-
to move himself, and directed him to
pick it up, which the boy did. Feeling his
strength somewhat revived, Capt. Smith
took the weapon 8; followed the boy on deck
VVhen they reached the deck, the Irish-
man, Brown, approached the boy for the
purpose of tailing his life, but had hardly
touched the boy when he fell dead upon
the deck by a blow from the adze in the
bands of Capt. Smith, who thus frustr_a_ted
the act of gross injustice which the Irish-
man was about to commit. The survivors
proceeded to bleed the body, and with the
blood quenched their thirst. They then cut
the body into sti igs for the purpose ofdrying.
The survivors subsisted on the blood for
three days, when it became spoiled, and

they were again reduced to the last ex-
tremity of distress, when fortunately, they
were discovered and taken off, completely
exhauslflli on the 13ib,.by the brig Tun.-
pico, bound from New Haven to the VVest
Indies. Two of the survivors were subse-
quently transferred to the schooner Splen-
did, which arrived at Delaware Breakwater
Nov. 15th.
The survivors of this dreadful calamitv,
are VVilliam Smith, captain, and Horatio
Smith, mate, both of Biddeford, 'Maine,
and Hewy Rose, of Bangor, 'W., mariner,

AMERIC AN COURTSIIIP.
An English paper gives the following'_
account of the American Courtsbips:
You know nothing in the old countryof
going ahead. If you only saw one of our
young fellows setting off to pick up ix wife,
it would wake you up amazingly. There'
you would see him perhaps in a harvest
afternoon with his wagon and best team.
He arrives at her father’s door--‘leaps out
——starts right in. Miss is sitting in the
corner sowing a napkin; father in the
other putting a newhandle in his axe.
“Good afternoon, Fred,” say both in
return.
“I say, squire,” says Fred, “the old lady
is in the kitchen, with a something in her
head sue wants to be telling you of; you
had better start.”
Still cutting away at the handle, the old
squire gets up and liesurcly bows himself
out of the room.
“Now for it !"’ says Fred.
it’s all up with me.”
“Up with you,” says Miss, “how's
that T’
“VVliy,” says Fred,-._."-tliere aint no fun
in natur’ in a fellcr living by his self in .1
.“I says Miss,
house as big as a Sbakér’s meeting, and
nothing in it barrin plenty of furniture in
the rooms; the kitchen chock full of burns
and ingin "nets; the cellar over the lid
with cider; and nothing else in the uni-
verse but the live stocks out of doors.”
. “Well, what else would you have 1”
says Miss; “aint that enough, you goneyl’
"Euougl1,” says Fred; “no! there aim a
wife in the lot.” ‘
“Ay ! tliat’s queer," says Miss, with r.-__
blush.
“No it aint,” says Fred, “:2 critter must
begin sometime to be rnarri».-d. I’ve just
taken a thought that way since the house
is fixed. But I have often thought 0’ you,
Miss! Oh! there now, my dear, don’t
look flustrated," says Fred, in a soothing‘
tone, “I liant got honey words: but l’ve
got a’ heart, you may depend, as warm as a
cooking-stove.”
“Tuts! yonr’e bold,” says Miss. '
“Well, then,” says Fred, “tut aiu’t no.
You won't say that ugly word! ‘
“VVon’t I ! says Miss.
‘VVell, then” says Fred, “will you say
no, when I ask you right off ?”
“To be sure I will, and keep my word,
too, you gomerall !”
“Then,” says Fred, with a solemn voice,
“Mary, my sweet love, will you refuse
me T’
“No,” says she, according to promise.
“ lhere you are !” says Fred, triumph-
antly.
“ taken the bait! So I’ll step along and
tell father.”
All was settled right off; and Fred got
a pretty wife the next week to finish the
lot.
“Couldn’t you get _i/omzg pork, ma’am,
to bake with your bonus l” said old Roger,
somewhat cynically, as he sat at the table
one Sunday. “They told me it was
young,”.said the landlady. “‘Well, it may
be so, but grey hair is nota juvenile featur,
by any means, in our latitude, ma’am,”
continued lie, fishing up a grey hair about
a foot and a half long with his fork. He
may have been young, but he must. have
lived a very wicked life to be grey so soon.”
As he spoke he looked along the table,
and asliglit emotion was visible among
the boarders; and the man who sat oppo-
site,_with his mouth full of the edibles
with which he had been endenvoring to
smother a laugh, grew dark with the effort,
and then collapsed, scattering dismay and
crumbs amid the nicely plaited folds of
Old Rogcr’s shirt frills.~—.b’osfon Past.

“Why, my good fellow, it is not more‘
than an hour ago since you deposited your
vote in this very poll.”
“I knows it, I knows it,” said the inde-
pendent republican, “but that ’ere was the
Democratic ticket, this ’ere is the Whig.”
“If you attempt to'vote twice,” said the
questioner, “I shall have you arrestedfor
a vio'ation of the election law.”
“You will, will you '1” said the sovereign,
“then,l says, if I am denied the right of
woting for whigs after havin’. gone the
whole ticket for the Democrats, there
ain’t no uniwersal suffrage, that’s all:-it’;
a dam’d one-sided business, take it all
round.”--Delta.
